This ain't your daddy's Panthers


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Some constants over all or most of the Panthers 25 year existence:

- Defensive head coaches since day one
- Head coaches with NFL pedigrees (college coaches need not apply)
- An NFL logo in the middle of the field rather than a team logo
- Ryan Vermillion, head trainer for the Panthers since 2002
- Rob Rogers, with the Panthers since 1995, served the past ten seasons as their top contract negotiator and salary cap manager
- Of course, Jerry Richardson (still with us in statue if not in person, or in spirit, or well...anything)
- And lastly, a player or coach with the last name "Mills"

None of those things  are true anymore.

Further departures, like that of executives, scouting staff and even GM Marty Hurney (in place for the majority of the team's history) are possible.

By the time they field again this September, the team on the field and the organization as a whole will be set to look significantly different from what we've known and found familiar.

Might be better. Might be worse.

Definitely gonna be different.

We can claim what we want with words, but stats show Rhule is a defensive minded head coach. His teams excelled in defense and special teams. Offense was what lagged behind.

My dad never did, so ditto.

My father has never been to a football game, as far as I know, never watched one from start to finish in his life until a few years ago.  He knows that I'm watching the Panthers no matter what, so he started watching them so we can hang out on Sundays here and there.

We have always boated, fished, dove, etc. together, but football was NEVER on in the house growing up, now it's on in his kitchen every Sunday.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
